More DVD News -- Over the Edge Productions

@Kev

Haha, yes, I'm sure he'd rather be driving his forklift, or maybe he's trying to remember where Images and Words was recorded and with whom, or thinking about what two different kinds of coffee he's going to drink at the same time, or plundering some sweet high-seas booty (hehe), but pretty much anything but being on stage.  I kid, of course, as James is just such an easy comedic target over the other guys.

But if this raucous SA crowd I keep hearing about doesn't snap him into looking excited to be on stage then I don't know what will.

[CrimsonSunrise]

I fucking LOVED the crowd in Rush's Rio show.  Can't wait to see that kind of energy for DT! 

[MoraWintersoul]

Dudes. Duddettes. Dudesons. There was cutting and pasting involved with 5 Years In A Livetime and (bad dvd, but good example) CiM. That means we get awesome stuff in the "intermissions". Really, that always turns out to be a-okay with DT.

[Zydar]

I don't know, I didn't really like that inbetween-stuff on CiM. It interrupted the flow of the concert experience. I'd rather see a full concert with smooth cut-and-paste between the two shows.

I like the inbetween stuff, but I don't like it being inbetween, if that makes sense. I hate live DVDs with anything inbetween songs. When I'm watching the concert, I just want to feel like I'm at a concert. Anything else should be saved for extras such as documentaries.
Budokan had a ton of extra tidbits, and they worked perfectly on the second disc for when you wanted to see them, instead of needing to skip over them to see the concert.

Exactly, I don't mind the actual content of the inbetween-stuff, just save it for a separate DVD or something. Just don't put it in the show.

I imagine the DVD looking something like this:

Dream is Collapsing
Bridges in the Sky
6:00
The Dark Eternal Night
These Walls
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Keyboard Intro
To Live Forever
This is the Life
The Root of All Evil
Endless Sacrifice (or maybe Paradigm Shift w/ Tony Levin?)
Drum Solo
A Fortune in Lies
Outcry
Lost Not Forgotten
The Silent Man
Beneath the Surface
Peruvian Skies
On the Backs of Angels
War Inside My Head
The Test That Stumped Them All
Guitar Solo
The Spirit Carries On
Wait for Sleep
Far From Heaven
Breaking All Illusions
encore: Metropolis

~3 hours

Songs played both nights are black, songs exclusive to night #1 are green, songs exclusive to night #2 are red. Not many songs switched, but that gives a ~35-minute difference between to two shows which is realistic.

Just to be clear on which songs rotate:

TDEN <> TROAE
TW <> BMUBMD
Outcry <> LNF
TSM <> WFS
BTS <> FFH

As long as they play Beneath the Surface I'm happy!

Has anyone discussed Over the Edge's live music portfolio? https://otenyc.com/?cat=21 Have they done something on this scale before? Looks like Mike Leonard is the director..

I loved the subject matter of Spirit Carries On, but its aesthetics were more VH1 reality show than serious documentary and I'm interested to see what direction they go with this.

[Nekov]

I'm hoping they rotate more than 5 songs. Also since they are going to pull up some "surprises" I would expect To Live Forever or anything similar to be played only one of the two nights. I would also be kinda surprised if they did all the solos both nights

[SeRoX]

More FII song please. Bring back Trial Of Tears, Anna Lee.

[ResultsMayVary]

FTFY

Surrounded would probably take its place one night.

I looked at a couple of the videos, not bad.  One thing I thought of as I was watching them was that the switching from each camera was quick and even when they were on one camera for awhile, the camera itself was moving.  Now, I understand that you just don't setup a static camera and it stays pointed in the same place the whole time (obviously that would be very boring) however, the switching and moving can be overdone.  For example, when JP does a solo, I'd really like the camera to not change and stay still for most of it so we can watch closely his awesome playing.

I think they take this into consideration since they are professionals and I'm not really worried about it.  Just an observation.

Who needs them?! 

Me needs them    Two or three!

I think they shoujld just dick with everybody. just start rollng the credits and then they come back out.

[PetFish]

^^

I've always wondered why they don't do something like that live.  Look, we all know if the lights stay off they're coming back out, it's no shock or surprise, and EVERYONE does encores now.  Why not turn the house lights on for 10 seconds so the entire crowd goes "awwwwwwwww" and starts mumbling and then turn them off and then it'll be a sweet surprise?  That's what I'd do if I was a rock star.

Pretty good, nice and long....but i'd definitely replace spirit with through my words/fatal tragedy.......spirit needs to be shelved for a tour or 2

[wolfandwolfandwolf]

Especially because this will be the third live recording we have of TSCO in four albums...

[darkshade]

FRESH BITCHING.

Yes, I only prefer the freshest of bitching

Horseburgers anyone?

I came here to post this, that's what I thought too.
Also, the top comment on the video was: "somehow, im glad Jordans not doing the editing on the DVD. XD". That's true!

I read that before watching the video, and it made it a lot funnier. That said, some maniac has responded with the following:

"why not? metropolis dvd was kinda like this.and portnoy did a great job(and effort)to do all that crazy shit on it.all the other dvds after it are piece of turd compared to it."

...which, well, it takes all sorts, I suppose!

A Portnoy fanboy, no doubt.

I could somehow understand why someone would like those effects but "all the other dvds after it are piece of turd compared to it." - isn't it the other way round?

Is there a time frame for this release? I mean, realistically how long do we expect before this DVD/Blu-ray is released? Is Christmas a reasonable bet?
